65 is a shell-accessible interface to the
70 opens a connection to an LDAP server, binds, and modifies the RDN of entries.
71 The entry information is read from standard input, from \fIfile\fP through
74 option, or from the command-line pair \fIdn\fP and
79 Remove old RDN values from the entry. Default is to keep old values.
82 Show what would be done, but don't actually change entries. Useful for
83 debugging in conjunction with -v.
86 Use verbose mode, with many diagnostics written to standard output.
89 Use Kerberos IV authentication instead of simple authentication. It is
90 assumed that you already have a valid ticket granting ticket.
92 must be compiled with Kerberos support for this option to have effect.
95 Same as \-k, but only does step 1 of the Kerberos IV bind. This is useful
96 when connecting to a slapd and there is no x500dsa.hostname principal
97 registered with your Kerberos Domain Controller(s).
100 Automatically chase referrals.
103 Continuous operation mode. Errors are reported, but ldapmodify
104 will continue with modifications. The default is to exit after
108 Enable manage DSA IT control.
110 makes control critical.
113 Set the LDAP debugging level to \fIdebuglevel\fP.
116 compiled with LDAP_DEBUG defined for this option to have any effect.
119 Read the entry modification information from \fIfile\fP instead of from
120 standard input or the command-line.
123 Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
126 Use the Distinguished Name \fIbinddn\fP to bind to the LDAP directory.
129 Prompt for simple authentication.
130 This is used instead of specifying the password on the command line.
133 Use \fIpasswd\fP as the password for simple authentication.
136 Use complete contents of \fIpasswdfile\fP as the password for
137 simple authentication.
140 Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s).
143 Specify an alternate host on which the ldap server is running.
144 Deprecated in favor of -H.
147 Specify an alternate TCP port where the ldap server is listening.
148 Deprecated in favor of -H.

151 Specify the LDAP protocol version to use.
153 .BI \-O \ security-properties
154 Specify SASL security properties.
157 Enable SASL Interactive mode. Always prompt. Default is to prompt
161 Enable SASL Quiet mode. Never prompt.
164 Specify the authentication ID for SASL bind. The form of the ID
165 depends on the actual SASL mechanism used.
168 Specify the requested authorization ID for SASL bind.
170 must be one of the following formats:
172 .I <distinguished name>
178 Specify the SASL mechanism to be used for authentication. If it's not
179 specified, the program will choose the best mechanism the server knows.
182 Issue StartTLS (Transport Layer Security) extended operation. If you use
184 , the command will require the operation to be successful.
186 If the command-line arguments \fIdn\fP and \fIrdn\fP are given, \fIrdn\fP
187 will replace the RDN of the entry specified by the DN, \fIdn\fP.
189 Otherwise, the contents of \fIfile\fP (or standard input if
192 flag is given) should consist of one or more entries.
195 Distinguished Name (DN)
196 Relative Distinguished Name (RDN)
199 One or more blank lines may be used to separate each DN/RDN pair.
201 Assuming that the file
203 exists and has the contents:
206 cn=Modify Me,dc=example,dc=com
213 ldapmodify -r -f /tmp/entrymods
216 will change the RDN of the "Modify Me" entry from "Modify Me" to
217 "The New Me" and the old cn, "Modify Me" will be removed.
220 Exit status is 0 if no errors occur. Errors result in a non-zero exit
221 status and a diagnostic message being written to standard error.
